Scandinavin students are a tremen dously serious lot, according to Emil Hurja, of Fairbanks, Alaska, who went with Henry Ford's peace propa gandists to Europe and who is now publishing a series of articles on the trip in the University of Washington Daily, of which he was editor. The young men of the peninsular coun tries take a vital interest in the af fairs of government, and are always ready to serve the public in any capacity. "The president of the student as sociation of the University of Chris tiania is secretary. of a commission to investigate the feasibility of a gov ernment monopoly of grain, and is generally believed to be next in line for the prime ministership of Norway, after more training in diplomacy," Hurja wrote to the daily from Copen hagen. The students of Norway, Sweden and Denmark were extremely courte ous to the young men from the American colleges who went on the Ford expedition. They provided re ceptions, banquets, teas and excer sion parties to many places of in terest. "They have done far more," said Hurja, "than any American stu dent group would do for a visiting delegation of foreign students in our country." The Washington delegate recently arrived in New York, and will re turn to the university after a brief visit to Washington and Chicago. GLEE CLUB REHEARSING The rehearsals for the Glee club concert, to be' given within a few weeks, are progressing rapidly under the direction of Mrs. Carrie B. Ray mond. There are twenty-four men in the club and all are working to make thie one of the best numbers of the ex tension week program. NONE WANTED THE DOLLAR The campaign for knocks agi tated by The Nebraskan has failed, as not one knock was given to the staff, either written or spoken, and those that were heard had to be beaten up from the hedgerows and by-ways. The competition closed yesterday, and the staff will keep the dollar offered until it finds some worthy charity, or can offer it again in the hope that it will im prove The Nebraskan. Although the response to the offer was not good. The Nebras kan is still hopeful that criti cisms will be made. Any sug gestions that you can, make that will lielp improve the paper will find a welcome. n n rf Ar pips COMPLIMENT DR. LUCKEY "In an article on "Educators as I Have Known Them," Journal of Edu cation (Boston), February 10, 1916; Dr. A. E. Winship says: "Dean G. W. A. Luckey of the Graduate School of Education of the State University of Nebraska and president of the State Teachers' association, is one of the clearest professional thinkers of the day." CHANCELLOR AGAINST NIGHT CLASSES Chancellor Avery gave his second and final dictum on the proposed plan for workingmen's night classes to be conducted by the department of me chanical engineering, declaring that the plan as presented offered private work to faculty men paid yearly sal aries by the university. "The university does not feel that its professors should expect to have private classes' and side lines of this character. The movement Itself is a very commendable one; I offered the professors the opportunity of teaching the classes on their regular salaries and to lighten the work during the day, and even offered to hire a man from the outside to conduct the classes. But this did not meet with the approval of those behind the prop osition." Clara M. Krupicka, who attended the university last year, is teaching at Friend, Nebr." CAN YOU NAME IT?

(Q) J Is OLIVER THEATRE GIRLS' RALLY AT CONVOCATION Chancellor Avery to Give Co-Ed Athletics a Boost A girls' athletic rally will be held at convocation hour today for the pur pose of working up interest and en thusiasm in the coo-lng interclass bas ketball tournament scheduled for Sat urday night, February 19, so when the band begins to play at 11 o'clock to day the crowd will know that "some thing is doing."
